This paper focuses on the writing of Chitta Ranjan Das against the backdrop of his life, which included an intense awareness of and interest in diverse cultures and languages, and travels that included extensive time in Israel. It turns to the art of Siona Benjamin, a Jewish artist from Mumbai who grew up with mainly Hindu and Muslim friends and attended Catholic and Parsi schools, who also spent considerable time in Israel, but who currently lives in the United States. Chitta Ranjan Das, in writing on varied subjects, emphasized thinking methodologies that would help to pull the varied strands of humanity into a brightly colored euphonious tapestry. Siona Benjamin’s paintings incorporate a wide array of disparate elements consistent with her intention to use her art as an instrument of promoting interfaith, intercultural, international mutuality. Each of these figures offers a slightly differently contoured angle of accord with the words of Chitta Ranjan Das that “unity is one and it has to be sought in diverse ways…”—that the future of a happy and successful humanity is one in which cultures, religions, ethnicities and nationalities are in perpetual dialogue, “coming together, merging together, working together…bringing souls together to yield social transformation.”
